    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, poverty is like an old big tree. In order to fight it, you must have various measures. There are various measures that we can undertake. If I were to enumerate them, it would take me the whole day. However, I have mentioned some of the factors. In fact, I have said, in general, that funding and referencing of the core poverty programmes in the country is one of the measures. The programmes are numerous depending on the area. I also mentioned that we have devolved funds to the constituencies, including the hon. Member's. This is meant to address the poverty issues. I have mentioned the 3378 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 12, 2008 various funds. The Government spends a lot of money in this area. In this year's Budget alone, the Government allocated Kshs68 billion for infrastructure. That was meant to make sure that every part of this country is accessible. So, there are pro-poor programmes in all line Ministries, including those dealing with agriculture, tourism, education, health and so on. If I were to name all of them, it would take long. I have, however, mentioned the measures generally because the Question was quite general."
